The 2020-2022 Strategic Plan outlines our dedicated focus to investing in our core foundations of Our Students, Our Employees, Our Future and Our Community over the next two school years, especially considering what our school community has been through with the recent pandemic. This new strategic plan and new core values will continue to ensure we have an exemplary student-focused school system that develops lifelong learners to be globally competitive.

Through a collaborative and inclusive process, this strategic plan was developed with valuable input from community and business leaders, parents, district administrators and employees. The School District of Manatee County is providing the best education in the State of Florida through innovative initiatives and strategic investments. Together, we are empowering our students today for their success tomorrow.
